The energy was amazing, everyone was having a good time, and the staff was super friendly the whole night. The drinks were solid, too -- definitely hit the spot after a long day exploring the city.

A great lake escape and our top choice locally is the Bahia Cafe in Barberino di Mugello in…read moreTuscany. The problem with barberino is that there are not many (good) access points to the lake and Bahia has a set up that is quite reminiscent of being at the seaside. The only thing is that if you go during a holiday or the weekend, it can get seriously crowded. I would recommend calling ahead and reserving a 'lettino' or sunbed and umbrella (it's cheap!). The water is pretty nice but depending on how crowded it is, it can be a little murky. I definitely recommend coming early and claiming your spot. Bring a pair of water shoes because the small stones can be hard on your feet. The cafe itself serves typical sea/lake fare - panini, gelato, salads and it is all pretty cheap which is a huge plus.

The food was good, but the dining experience is profound. I would recommend a meal here just to see the architectural preservation, and the use of old and new structures. The chef came out to greet us and spoke decent English. A terrific experience.

There were 2 desserts for our group and we got to try both. The evening ended with limoncello. What an incredible experience!

This will be the high bar you set in life for anything round and salty that comes out of the oven. Damn, this will be the high bar you set for pizza, period. Scott and I are completely convinced that the Caprese pizza has some sort of drug in it. The first time I ate here was in 2003 and instantly knew this was the best pizza I would ever have. Fast-forward almost 10 years later, several countries and a few visits to Naples in search of the best pizza and BAM - Pizzaman is still the most perfect pizza I, and probably you once you eat here, have ever had. Obvs I didnt drink back in 2003 so Pasquale (the founder) would tell my friends and me every time to get American champagne.... aka Coke! :) I'm happy to see after all this time the original place is still there, and there are other branches. I know that the key to his success was not only the perfect flavor and fresh ingredients, but Pasquale's amazing energy and true love for a good pizza. I have ruined several of my friends' lives by bringing them here, as they go back to their home countries and just can't settle with any pizza anymore. Raffaello is the main pizzaiolo here now and he will make sure you get a little sample of the panuozzo when you walk in the door. Everybody is so nice! If this place was bigger maybe this is where people who die and go to heaven would have pizza. You've been warned.
